After immigration on your left you can find a duty free shop and they have most of the vodkas but i am not sure if you can get bottle of scotch at this point.

Hey Mfuwe,

Yeah I didn't think I noticed a duty free at arrivals either although my tour operator is telling me otherwise. i think he's thinking of the one in the departure lounge.

I won't have an opportunity to get it into my checked luggage as I'll have to check this straight through from melbourne to EBB before I'm let loose in duty free so that just leaves Dubai. Your logic makes sense as this will be the boarding for the last leg. I might take my chances in Dubai. The staff in the shop should know if I'll be able to board a plane to EBB with it on me.

Is it only ever at the departure gate that there's a chance they'll take it?

Good to know Monker, thanks

Good news indeed. "Not a lot of people know that!"

As to general Liquid rules through security. That is the pinch point. I have seen soem very tearful scenes where Security is at the gate and folks have bought Duty Free down the line and want to carry it on the 'next' plane too.

Amsterdam is such a place.

Where you are in transit and there is no Secuity between disembarking and boarding the next plane you should be OK.

Probably a good time to wish you a good trip and safe return.

Thanks, I can't wait!

I hope you have a great trip to Namibia too

I can't think of anywhere to buy duty free in arrivals, so I would go with the advice to purchase in Dubai... or better still, on the Emirates flight to EBB itself.

As for wine, I would honestly wait until you get to Kampala, there are some excellent South African, Australian ;) and other wines from round the world available in all good supermarkets. Game at Lugogo is your easiest option. Your tour operator can get you there with ease as it's so central and easily accessible.

You'd get a very good wine for about £5-7.

Flemingo duty free operate shops in the airport you can certainly buy on arrival in Uganda ... http://www.dutyfreeonarrival.com/en/search/entebbe or to check your airline or Dubai prices, check Emirates.

Great link tiendasf. thanks.

Same avatar as on that web link. Confused as to what that site is? :S A forum, or run by you?

If you have knowledge of EBB arrivals tiendasdf, please explain where the shop is, as I cannot think where it's situated.
